Plymouth Teachers College Sends Group to Regional
International Relations Club Conference at Clark U.
It is customary for the IRC
clubs throughout New England
to gather once a year for the
purpose otf discussing pertinent,
current topics, electing new officers, and laying plans for the
next year. This year's program
offered three sessions of round
table discussions. Each of these
sessions offered five topics for discussion, and each of the topics
was placed in either the political,
social, economic, military, or
trusteeship category. The delegates were free to ohoose any of
the topics offered, although it was
preferred that they confine themselves to one of the categories,
rather than skipping from one to
another. The choice of category
was to be made at the time of
registration. The PTC delegation
suffered the handicap of not having previous knowledge of the
nature of the topics to be discussed.
The first formality of the conference began with the registration of delegates at 10:00 a. m.,
Friday the 13th. At the registration desk, each delegate was presented with a copy of the program, and a map of the campus
which proved indispensable. At
11:00 a. m., the delegates gathered at Jonas Clark Hall to hear the
welcoming address by President
Jefferson of Clark University. Immediately following the welcoming address, J. Arthur Gilmore,
President of the IRC at Clark
University, outlined the program
to be followed.

discussion got under way at ]

Carnegie Foundation, which sponsors the IRC. She expressed satisfaction with the progress made
by the IRC in this area, and was

by the attending delegates.
President and Mrs. Jefferson entertained the delegates at their
home with an informal tea. Later
that evening, the delegates assembled at Atwood Hall to hear a
well presented talk by Mrs. Martha Sharpe concerning Europe's
needs, and the challenge it offers
the democracies. Mrs. Sharpe drew
upon her vast experience in European relief work, and presented s
poignant picture of the grave conations existing in Europe.
